Children of the 1950s 

The Aberdeen Children of the 1950s are 12,150 people born in Aberdeen between 1950 and 1956. When they were in primary school, they took reading and maths tests as part of a study done by University of Aberdeen. The goal of the original study was to discover the causes of learning disabilities. Today the collected data from the Children of the 1950s is used to investigate a wide variety of questions. Access to the data is given by application to the steering committee. The participants' information is shared anonymously with researchers and used in a data Safe Haven. Read more about results from the project, and see a list of the published research papers.
